Johnny's Blues

[Verse] In a black suit, shadowed by the rising moon, Johnny sang his sorrows, a low and haunting tune. From Memphis nights to Folsom’s cold embrace, He wore his pain like leather, etched on his face. [Verse 2] A six-string strummer with a heart made of stone, Walked the line through darkness, he was never alone. June's sweet whispers tried to soothe his soul, But the demons of his past took a heavy toll. [Chorus] Oh, Johnny’s blues, cuttin’ deep like the knife, He sang about the heartache, singin' 'bout his life. In prison cells and heartstrings, you’d hear his truths, Man in black, forever haunted by those blues. [Verse 3] With every whiskey bottle, he drowned another fight, In Caine's old station, into the endless night. The pills and booze, a devil's tempting smile, But his voice held us captive, mile after mile. [Bridge] Through highs and lows, and the graveyard shift, He shared his burden, gave our spirits a lift. In gospel hymns and sorrow's deep, dark hues, Johnny played his melody, bittersweet news. [Chorus] Oh, Johnny’s blues, cuttin’ deep like the knife, He sang about the heartache, singin' 'bout his life. In prison cells and heartstrings, you’d hear his truths, Man in black, forever haunted by those blues.
